This year’s inauguration will have a special detail: national flags will be at half-mast.

The reason is to mourn the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, who died on December 29, 2024. According to the protocol, the flags will remain at half-mast for 30 days.

According to the 20th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, Trump will officially take office on 20 January at 12:00 pm EST (19:00 Kyiv time).
